About This Class

Imagine that you can speak up at anytime in meetings and everyone in the room understands your messages and is impressed by your confidence and authority. Wouldn't it be great to feel you can speak up at anytime and voice your opinions with clarity and ease?

After taking this course, if you apply yourself, you will be able to:

Speak up at meetings

Hide nervousness when speaking up at meetings

Prepare in advance to speak up at meetings

Make sure people can hear and understand you

This course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.

The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.

You won't build confidence without putting in some time and practice. Complete this project by making and sharing the videos that you make.
For this project, you will need to be able to record yourself and share the video with others. Without constructive criticism, you will not be able to improve your speaking skills.
